The Massive Metropica Development In Sunrise Might As Well Be Its Own City

South Floridians are living in the age of the mega-developments. Miami Worldcenter, Brickell City Centre and Downtown Doral are all in the works for Miami-Dade County, but Broward residents need not feel left out.

Metropica in Sunrise will be a 65-acre retail and residential development built right next door to the Sawgrass Mills Mall and BB&T Center, and it's breaking ground this summer.

Construction will begin with the complex’s first residential tower, Yoo at Metropica. The 28-story condo–dreamed up by design firm YOO Studio in partnership with developer Trillist Companies, Inc.–has an early 2017 target completion date.

American Express is also moving its regional headquarters (and 3,000 employees) to the Sunrise area.

Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated Metropica’s Central Park will span 21 acres. It will span 2.5 acres. In addition, American Express regional headquarters will be moving to Sunrise but will not be located within Metropica.
